.... First time being pregnant I’m 4 months and I stopped drinking coffee. But now I love a…

I have a weakness for cappuccinos that I sometimes give into myself. Don’t worry. You’re allowed 200mg of caffeine per day but the best thing I found out was that most places serve decaf cappuccino if you ask for it. I know Starbucks does for sure and I found a lot of restaurants who can make decaf lattes and caps as well!

I was even more cautious of caffeine in the first trimester but I kept craving them. So I limited their intake (I think 200mg comes to roughly 2 cups). The problem with caffeine is the risk of miscarriage and for more heavy and regular drinkers, it’s that the baby gets the caffeine high as well. So I would be watchful if I were you and try to opt for decaf caps whenever you can

Best of luck mama!

Aww perfect thank you so much! I didn’t drink coffee or cappuccinos at all for the first 4 months it’s just been since the other day haha I know I have to limit so I only drink 1 a day

I feel you. I'm 23 weeks and am often tired and would die for coffee. But I've given up any drugs (coffee and painkillers ) for pregnancy. They do say 2 cups is fine though so don't stress over a cup or 2 xx

Thank you very much ❤️ yeah I’ve never taken paracetamol or anything they say you can but I don’t want too so I have to put up with constant migraines haha x

I crave hazelnut coffee, so I get decaf which is safe during pregnancy.

Aww I love a hazelnut latte but I was told to not eat nuts or drink anything that has nuts in them Incase the baby is allergic? No idea if that’s true haha

I was told the more you introduce before will help get those proteins to baby. And help lessen chances of allergies

Perfect thank you x

Haha yeah that’s very true thank you

Starbucks can make anything in decaf:) that’s what I do! I also have a cup of international delight mocha every day. It has 50mg of caffeine per cup versus 200mg in regular coffee. But it is a cold coffee you find in the fridge.
